What People Say About Us
TIPS FOR CHOOSING A RELIABLE BUILDING INSPECTOR
CHECK CREDENTIALS AND LICENSES: Ensure the building inspector is licensed and certified in your state or territory. Verify their qualifications, including any relevant professional memberships, such as with the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS).
EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE: Look for an inspector with significant experience in the industry, particularly in the type of property you are inspecting (e.g., residential, commercial). Experienced inspectors are more likely to identify potential issues.
SEEK RECOMMENDATIONS AND REVIEWS: Ask for recommendations from friends, family, or real estate professionals. Additionally, check online reviews and testimonials to gauge the inspector’s reputation.
ASK ABOUT INSURANCE: Ensure the inspector has professional indemnity insurance. This insurance protects you in case the inspector misses something important during the inspection.
SEE SAMPLE REPORTS: Request to see a sample inspection report. A reliable inspector should provide clear, detailed, and easy-to-understand reports that include photos and explanations of any issues found.
CONSIDER THEIR COMMUNICATION STYLE: Choose an inspector who communicates clearly and is willing to explain their findings in detail. Good communication is key to understanding the inspection report and any issues that arise. 10. Compare Costs
COMPARE COSTS: While cost shouldn’t be the only factor, it’s important to compare prices from different inspectors. Ensure that the cost aligns with the scope of the inspection and the inspector’s experience.
VERIFY INDEPENDENCE: Ensure the inspector is independent and not affiliated with the real estate agent or the seller. This reduces the risk of any conflict of interest and ensures an unbiased report.
